Only Part Of The Picture: A Response To Rebecca Tushnet's Worth A Thousand Words: The Images Of Copyright (125 Harv. L. Rev. 683), Zahr K. Said

Only Part of the Picture: A Response to Rebecca Tushnet’s Worth a Thousand Words: The Images of Copyright 125 HARV. L. REV. 683
Zahr K. Said
Professor Rebecca Tushnet’s Article elucidates a number of difficulties in copyright that flow from judicial failures to treat images consistently and rigorously. She argues that courts both assess copyrightability and evaluate potential infringement in ways that rely on a naïve understanding of the way artists create, and indeed, the way viewers receive works of art. The problem is particularly pronounced with respect to what Tushnet calls non-textual works because copyright law’s default to textuality …

Crowdsourcing Indie Movies
Henry H. Perritt, Jr.
Abstract
Internet-centered technology developments are revolutionizing the ways in which movies can be made. The use of crowdsourcing to make indie movies is a possibility that has not yet been explored fully, although the use of crowdsourcing to raise money for artistic works is growing. Crowdsourcing can be used for every step of making a movie, increasing the range of collaboration available to creators and reducing capital requirements. The article uses a fictional account of a team of young moviemakers to explain how they can use crowdsourcing for each step of making their …
Copyright Lawmaking And The Public Choice: From Legislative Battles To Private Ordering, Yafit Lev-Aretz
Copyright Lawmaking And The Public Choice: From Legislative Battles To Private Ordering, Yafit Lev-Aretz
Yafit Lev-Aretz
On January 18th, 2012, the Web went dark in the largest online protest in history. Two anti-piracy Bills – The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and The Protect IP Act (PIPA) – attracted waves of opposition from the Internet community, which culminated on January 18th into an unprecedented 24-hour Web strike, followed by a decision to shelve the Bills indefinitely. This Article argues that the SOPA/PIPA protest created a new political reality in copyright lawmaking, with the tech industry becoming a very influential actor on the one hand, and social networks lowering mobilization costs of individual users on the other …
Outlawed Art: Finding A Home For Graffiti In Copyright Law, Nicole A. Grant
Outlawed Art: Finding A Home For Graffiti In Copyright Law, Nicole A. Grant
Nicole A Grant
An intractable tension exists between the existence of graffiti as iconoclastic youth expression and the emergence of its recognition as an art form, and the boundaries of American copyright law. As graffiti gains more traction in the mainstream art world, copyright law has come to frame much of the discussion surrounding the rights that stem from (and that are overlooked by) the creation of these works. While graffiti is heralded for its uniqueness, it also thrives in a culture of appropriation that encourages dialogue among graffiti artists, in addition to establishing as the norm the pilfering of everyday cultural referents …
Unlimited Times: Dmca Anticircumvention Measures On Public Domain Films, Sarah L. Jordan
Unlimited Times: Dmca Anticircumvention Measures On Public Domain Films, Sarah L. Jordan
Sarah L Jordan
The Constitution guarantees that intellectual property will enter into the public domain after a limited time. However, the amount of time in which that happens for copyrighted works has been extended numerous times since the writing of the Constitution. While the Digital Millennium Copyright Act was not enacted by Congress to extend copyright protection limits, it has inadvertently granted unlimited protections to public domain films in digital formats. As early films begin to enter the public domain, a select few have the means to provide those films in digital format, but the public does not have the right to exploit …
Go To Our Website For More (Of The Same): Reassessing Federal Policy Towards Newspapers Mergers And Cross Media Ownership And The Harm To Localism, Diversity And The Public Interest, Jason Zenor
Jason Zenor
Newspapers are workhorse of local news industry and this information is important in order to have an informed citizenry. But, the conventional wisdom is that newspapers are an endangered species and that something drastic needs to be done if this form of media is going to survive. Many proactive solutions have been forwarded such as charging for online content, using tablet and smartphone technology to publish newspapers and making newspapers more assessable to younger and more diverse generations. Another more conceding solution is to allow for greater relaxation on newspapers mergers and cross media ownership rules. But, this solution would …

“Technopanics, Threat Inflation, And The Danger Of An Information Technology Precautionary Principle”, Adam Thierer
Adam Thierer
Fear is an extremely powerful motivational force. In public policy debates, appeals to fear are often used in an attempt to sway opinion or bolster the case for action. Such appeals are used to convince citizens that threats to individual or social wellbeing may be avoided only if specific steps are taken. Often these steps take the form of anticipatory regulation based on the precautionary principle.
Such “fear appeal arguments” are frequently on display in the Internet policy arena and often take the form of a full-blown “moral panic” or “technopanic.” These panics are intense public, political, and academic responses …

Bleeeeep! The Regulation Of Indecency, Isolated Nudity And Fleeting Expletives In Broadcast Media - An Uncertain Future For Pacifica V. Fcc, Terri R. Day, Danielle Weatherby
Terri R. Day
This article discusses the controversy over the current FCC indecency enforcement regime, an issue the Supreme Court will hear this term. In 2004, the FCC abandoned a thirty year policy of excluding “fleeting expletives” and isolated images of nudity from its indecency enforcement regime. This change, coupled with a 10-fold increase in the statutory maximum fines and a change in assessing penalties on a per-program to a per-broadcast basis, threatens broadcasters with crushing fines for airing one isolated expletive. Since these changes, the FCC has enhanced its enforcement efforts creating a chilling effect on First Amendment protected speech in broadcast …

Do Bad Things Happen When Works Enter The Public Domain?: Empirical Tests Of Copyright Term Extension (With P. Heald), Christopher J. Buccafusco
Do Bad Things Happen When Works Enter The Public Domain?: Empirical Tests Of Copyright Term Extension (With P. Heald), Christopher J. Buccafusco
Christopher J. Buccafusco
The international debate over copyright term extension for existing works turns on the validity of three empirical assertions about what happens to works when they fall into the public domain. Our study of the market for audio books and a related human subjects experiment suggest that all three assertions are suspect. We demonstrate that audio books made from public domain bestsellers (1913-22) are significantly more available than those made from copyrighted bestsellers (1923-32). We also demonstrate that recordings of public domain and copyrighted books are of equal quality. While a low quality recording seems to lower a listener's valuation of …

Privacy And Data Protection In Business: Laws And Practices (Sample Chapters), Jonathan I. Ezor
Jonathan I. Ezor
In the fields of digital privacy and data protection in the business world, effective compliance and risk management require not only knowledge of applicable laws and regulations, but at least a basic understanding of relevant technologies and the processes of the company or other organization that is collecting and/or using the personal information or monitoring behavior. This book is structured to provide a framework for law and other students to both learn the law and place it in the necessary technological and practical context, divided into topic areas such as children’s privacy, health information, governmental requirements, employee data and more. …

Justice Scalia And The Art Of Rhetoric, Jeffrey M. Shaman
Justice Scalia And The Art Of Rhetoric, Jeffrey M. Shaman
Jeffrey M. Shaman
This essay offers something different from the usual law review article: an examination of Justice Scalia's judicial opinions from a literary perspective rather than a legal one. The essay demonstrates that Justice Scalia is a master of metaphor and other belletristic flourishes. Focusing on the style rather than the substance of his writing, the essay uses examples from various Scalia opinions to illustrate that he wields a wicked poison pen, peppers his opinions with creative lists of examples, and is wont to drop in a bon mot here and there, not to mention an arcane foreign phrase that send lesser …
